1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on August 15, 2011, Evergreen Solar, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 11-12590) (the “Bankruptcy Case”). Also as previously disclosed, the Company has sold substantially all of its assets, excluding the Company’s facility located at Devens, Massachusetts and certain equipment therein (the “Devens Assets”) pursuant to asset sales under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

In connection with the Bankruptcy Case, the Company and Hackman Capital Acquisition Company, LLC, as purchaser (the “Devens Assets Purchaser”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2012 (the “Devens Assets Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the Devens Assets to the Devens Assets Purchaser. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Devens Assets Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Devens Assets for $8,530,000, subject to certain adjustments as described therein.

To facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Devens Assets Purchase Agreement, the Company, Massachusetts Development Finance Agency (“MassDev”) and 112 Barnum Road, LLC (the “Purchaser Affiliate”), an affiliate of the Devens Assets Purchaser, entered into that certain Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of March 11, 2012 (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the closing of the sale of the Devens Assets, the Company will direct the Devens Assets Purchaser to pay a portion of the purchase price under the Devens Assets Purchase Agreement directly to MassDev; MassDev will convey title to the land located in Devens, Massachusetts to the Purchaser Entity; and the Company and MassDev will settle all outstanding claims against one another, among other things.

The Devens Assets are to be sold pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the agreements described herein are subject to the issuance by the Bankruptcy Court of an order approving the transaction (the “Sale Order”).

Consummation of the sale of the Devens Assets pursuant to the Devens Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among others, conditions related to accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties; material compliance by the parties with their obligations under the governing agreement; and compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.

The Devens Assets Purchase Agreement may be terminated under a number of circumstances, including breach of certain representations and covenants and the revocation of the Sale Order.

The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Devens Assets Purchase Agreement and the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Devens Assets Purchase Agreement and the Settlement Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
